138. Exactly.

Yet they are still in the "Well the Mueller probe really didn't find anything and only suggested that congress pursue obstruction of justice and...blah blah blah" bullshit dismissive remarks (despite the fact that a number of people were indicted and jailed).

Yet THIS was the money case.

Cohen was spun off for other criminal acts associated with the President. Manafort was spun off for his own criminal acts associated with the President. Flynn was spun off for his own criminal acts associated with the President. And minor players Papadopoulos & Gates were low-hanging fruit who were oddly dismissed from the media focus regarding "collusion" (conspiracy).

But for those obsessing over the "technicalities" of Russia and the election - THIS IS IT. Cozy Bear/Fancy Bear/Guccifer2.0 hacked the DNC server (a la the Watergate break-in and theft of DNC files) and gave the emails to Assange and Wikileaks... And Stone (G. Gordon Liddy-style) was directing the operation and was the conduit to/from the President to ensure that info made it out to as many media people as possible, helping to manufacture and amplify a fake narrative and tilt the election.
